But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover

the idea of separation of church and state but true separation is impossible because of the Heavenly Society. "The earthly city‚ whose life is not based on faith‚ aims at an earthly peace‚ and it limits the harmonious agreement of citizens concerning the giving and obeying of orders to the establishment..." (Augustine 182). The Heavenly Society is unable to live in peace with the Earthly City because their beliefs counteract that of their own. One cannot claim to be of royal lineage but live like a
